Field Day and SKN are my favorite amateur related events. This year, I used a 60+ year old key from an old Heathkit code practice oscillator, which I had laying around for more than 15 years. This was accompanied by an old Kenwood TS 430S, and a few... Read More

I want to single out W1IK for his courtesy with another ham who was maybe having the jitters. W1IK displayed patience and persistance. It impressed me that one of the hallmarks of our hobby is still so alive and well. Read More
